All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth

The room was filled with the faint scent of agarwood, but it could not conceal the heaviness in Ye Wanxue's heart.

Lu Yundi sat opposite with a smile on her face, but there was a barely perceptible scrutiny hidden in her eyes.

"Madam, I naturally want to have what you said." Ye Wanxue finally spoke, her voice weak but with a hint of determination, "But do you think I... can really get it?"

Lu Yundi's smile froze slightly. She gently patted Ye Wanxue's hand and said gently, "Xue'er, do you know? In this mansion, being able to get the favor of the Marquis is already lucky. As for the rest, as long as you treat him sincerely, you will get it one day."

Ye Wanxue smiled bitterly. She looked at Lu Yundi with a trace of confusion in her eyes: "Madam, I know you are good to me, but can this kindness really make up for the shortcomings in my heart?"

Lu Yundi was slightly stunned. She looked at Ye Wanxue's pale face and couldn't help but waver in her heart. She took a deep breath and then said slowly: "Xue'er, I know what's on your mind. But there are some things that you and I can't decide. We can only try our best to fight for it."

There was silence in the room for a while. Ye Wanxue looked at the sky outside the window, with a hint of desire in her eyes. She turned her head and said to Lu Yundi, "Madam, I want to know, what do you think of me?"

Lu Yundi's eyes changed slightly. She looked at Ye Wanxue seriously and said firmly, "Xue'er, you are my husband's concubine and I am your mistress. I will do my best to make your life better in this mansion. As for the rest, as long as you behave yourself, I won't make things too difficult for you."

Ye Wanxue's eyes flashed with gratitude when she heard this. She knew that Lu Yundi was already trying his best to be nice to her. She nodded gently and said, "Thank you, Madam."

After Ye Wanxue finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room seemed to become slightly more relaxed. Lu Yundi looked at her, with mixed emotions in his heart.

"Xue'er, I know you have a lot of pain in your heart, but in this mansion, everyone has their own problems." Lu Yundi sighed softly, with deep sympathy in his eyes. "If you have any worries, you can tell me, I will do my best to help you."

Ye Wanxue lowered her eyes and was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Madam, I know you are good to me, but there is a knot in my heart. Only by untying it can I feel truly at ease."

Lu Yundi frowned slightly. She knew that the knot in Ye Wanxue's heart was the preference of Zhenxing Marquis Jiang Jilian for her. She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Xue'er, I am not jealous of the Marquis's favor towards you. After all, if he really loves you, I will be happy for him. But I hope you can understand the importance of status and identity in this mansion."

Ye Wanxue raised her head, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Madam, I understand. I don't expect to replace you, I just hope to get the true heart of the Marquis."

Lu Yundi looked at Ye Wanxue and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

She gently held Ye Wanxue's hand and said, "Xue'er, I will find an opportunity to talk to the Marquis. I hope he can understand your feelings."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Ye Wanxue's eyes. She nodded gently and said, "Thank you, Madam. The knot in my heart may really need the words of the Marquis to untie it."

The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the scent of agarwood in the room became stronger. Lu Yundi looked at Ye Wanxue and couldn't help but think of his past.

"Xue'er, do you know? When I was young, I was also like you, full of expectations and desires." Lu Yundi said softly, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes, "But as time goes by, I gradually understand that some things cannot be obtained by hard work."

"Madam, you are right. I know that what I want may just be an unattainable dream." Ye Wanxue sighed softly, with endless sadness in her eyes, "But even so, I am willing to fight for it and try."

......

"Ruolan, go get the medicine." Ye Wanxue instructed the maid beside her. She glanced at Jiang Yinli at the door and her heart skipped a beat.

Ruolan retreated in response, and Ye Wanxue's eyes returned to the delicate silk handkerchief in her hand, rubbing it gently with her fingers, as if soothing her inner fluctuations. Jiang Yinli, who was standing at the door, looked a little blurry in the light and darkness. His arrival was always accompanied by a bit of embarrassment and silence.

Jiang Yinli stepped into the room. He tried his best to make his expression look calm, but his deep eyes betrayed him, hiding his complicated feelings towards Ye Wanxue. He bowed slightly and said politely, "Auntie Ye, how are you?"

Ye Wanxue raised her head, her eyes calm and deep, she chuckled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Master Xiao. I am much better now."

Jiang Yinli nodded, but he didn't know what to say. He glanced at the medicine bowl on the table, frowned slightly, and asked, "Are you still taking medicine?"

"Well, I'm still feeling a little unwell and need to recuperate." Ye Wanxue replied calmly, her voice soft but firm.

Jiang Yinli was silent for a while, then suddenly changed the subject: "Father is very busy recently, he asked me to come and see you."

A trace of complex emotions flashed across Ye Wanxue's eyes, but she soon regained her composure: "I know that Marquis Zhenxing has worked hard for the country and the people. He doesn't need to worry about me."

Although Jiang Yinli was dissatisfied with his father's taking a concubine, he also understood that Ye Wanxue was not the kind of woman who coveted power.

At this time, Ruolan came back with the medicine, breaking the silence in the room. She put the medicine bowl on the table and said softly to Ye Wanxue, "Madam, the medicine is ready."

Ye Wanxue nodded, expressing her gratitude for Ruolan's careful care. Ruolan turned and left, but Jiang Yinli's eyes followed her involuntarily.

"Young Master, do you still remember Ruolan?" Ye Wanxue seemed to see through Jiang Yinli's thoughts and asked softly.

Jiang Yinli was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Ruolan, of course I remember. She used to take good care of me."

Ye Wanxue smiled, with a hint of bitterness in her smile: "Yes, Ruolan is a good child, she has always taken good care of me."

Jiang Yinli was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Auntie Ye, I know you are a good person. It is a blessing for father to have a concubine like you."

Ye Wanxue was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Yinli to say such a thing. She looked at Jiang Yinli, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled softly: "Master, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary woman. It is my luck to be favored by Zhenxing Hou."

Jiang Yinli looked at Ye Wanxue with a lot of contradictions in his heart. He knew that his prejudice against Ye Wanxue was unfair, but he could never accept his father's behavior.

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Jiang Jilian walked in. He looked at the atmosphere in the room, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He walked to Ye Wanxue and asked softly, "Are you feeling better?"
